Astronomical Viewpoint of Villaharta
(Starlight Destination)
Villaharta is an ideal destination for astronomical tourism. Our skies are part of the Sierra Morena Starlight Reserve, the largest in the world.
So you can enjoy our magnificent natural environment and our clear sky, we suggest visiting the Astronomical Viewpoint located in the Zahurdillas Altas Park.
If during the day the Mediterranean Forest and the great holm oaks of Sierra Morena will cause you admiration, during the night you will feel overwhelmed by the blanket of stars that surrounds you. Don’t miss the opportunity to identify the most beautiful constellations in an environment of absolute peace!
